FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's the concept of moving a file from your storage space to your server so others can look at it. This is one of the basics of HTML, and most people know how to do it, but are confused why items can sometimes be corrupted when transferring. I put this together to try and explain some of the statements I make.

How FTP Works

FTP is actually very basic. There are about a million different FTP programs you can take off the Internet as shareware or purchase, heck even Netscape and Explorer will allow you to take files, often called "downloading." Obviously then, placing a file from your storage space to the server is called "uploading."

My guess if that you have your own FTP program already, but if not, you can download one. They come in freeware and shareware. If you want free, try FTP Explorer or the free (limited) version of WSFTP.

If you don't mind spending a couple of bucks after a 30-day trial, click on one of these. I've tried them all and can vouch that they are all good programs. Try either WSFTP full version, CuteFTP or my personal favorite, FTP2000.

Below, in Table form, is the general interface for a basic FTP program. Yours is something like this. By the way, "interface" is the thing between you and the computer, mainly the graphics. In fact, an interface is anything that acts as a go-between for two items. You and your computer are as good as any two.
